Possible Safety
Risk
Do not substitute accessories. Use only recommended
accessories listed in this manual. Substitution may cause
the instrument to work improperly. The correct accessories
are shielded to prevent conductive parts of the electrodes
contacting other conductive parts or earth. No action should
be taken which permits this to happen.
Warning All interconnecting equipment must meet their relevant
safety standards i.e. EN60959 in the case of computers,
network terminals and display monitors. When several
pieces of equipment of various origins are interconnected,
the summation of leakage currents may constitute a hazard.
Warning The accuracy of the readings obtained from this equipment
may be affected by the presence of a pacemaker or by
cardiac arrhythmia
Warning If it is thought that interference is occurring from or with
other equipment, such as that used for Diathermy, then
either shut-off, or move, the offending devices, increase the
separation or reduce lead lengths.
Warning If the integrity of the protective earth conductor arrangement
is in doubt, the equipment should be operated from its
internal electrical power source only while connected to a
patient. Use the mains supply only to re-charge the battery
while not connected to a patient
